Takeoff
Artist ∙ Hip-Hop/Rap
Until the release of his 2018 solo debut, The Last Rocket, Takeoff was the most anonymous member of Migos by a country mile, the nephew of Quavo (who sang the group’s memorable hooks) and the first cousin once removed of Offset (who married Cardi B). But among diehard Migos fans, Takeoff, who was fatally shot in 2022 at the age of 28, was always an underrated gem, an MC with a baritone drawl and the ability to steal any song he lent a verse to. Early on in the group’s career, Takeoff was already proving himself to be as capable on the mic as his older and better-known partners. On their 2014 breakthrough mixtape, No Label 2, he demonstrated skills that hinted at the potential he’d fulfill on later Migos albums and his first solo album: His ad-libs became more memorable, his lyrics sung with more force. His mastery of the triplet-style flow the group re-popularized became a calling card, but on The Last Rocket, his energy and range took center stage, while he also showed he could handle a chorus as deftly as his uncle. Takeoff’s solo work bounced with a flow that cascaded like a waterfall, while ad-libbed “skrrts” kept the mood light. He was a low-key superstar, gliding to the top of the charts and the VIP section of the club, more interested in synthesizing the stories in his music than showcasing them on the ‘gram.
